Stan’s MACtastic Teleconference

It’s Monday, so it’s time for the MAC Coaches Conference Call. I know you’re probably sitting there hoping Coach Parrish was fired up, took responsibility, made you want to believe things were going to change. Unfortunately, that isn’t the case, and I can’t much say I blame him. Losing to EMU, breaking their losing streak, [...]

Stan’s MACtastic Teleconference

I will refrain from commenting on the abysmal failure that I witnessed on Saturday. Largely because commenting on the game itself will result in me showing my ass and blaming a gaggle of 18-22 year olds for not quite performing to the level of my liking. Or it would venture into me going ballistically batshit crazy [...]

Stan’s MACtastic Teleconference

Was there a Ball State game this weekend? Hmm. Must have missed it. Oh well, I’m sure we won. No need to check the boxscores or game results. I’m sure that email from the Athletic Department has nothing to do with the stats or results from Saturday since we didn’t play. Thank the Lord for [...]

Stan’s MACtastic Teleconference

It’s pretty rare that a coach gets prank called on his conference’s media teleconference. Coaches show? Ok… that I get. But the media teleconference put on by the MidAmerican Conference seems like someplace where pranking would be difficult. Unless of course there really is a write for USA Today who thinks Ball State has big [...]

Rich Brooks & the SEC Teleconference

Another Wednesday and another chance to touch base with the head coaches of the SEC. First up? Big Blue head coach Rich Brooks! Opening Statement Well we are coming off a road win at Vandy where we played the last 30 minutes about as well as we could expect to play. Holding them to 31 [...]

Rich Brooks & the SEC Teleconference

Another Wednesday and another chance to catch up with the SEC Coaches as they conduct their weekly conference call. First up for us is Rich Brooks whose Wildcats travel to Vandy on Saturday with a chance to gain bowl eligibility. Opening Statement Well we’re gonna be a little healthier than we’ve been in recent weeks. [...]

Rich Brooks & the SEC Teleconference

Another Wednesday and another chance to catch up and hear from the coaches of the Southeastern Conference, most notably our very own Rich Brooks. Opening Statement We’re coming off of a tough loss to Mississippi State. Disappointing loss. We have some further injuries in that game. Derrick Locke banged his knee up and hasn’t practiced [...]

Stan’s MAC-tastic Teleconference

Another Monday, another teleconference, for everyone’s favorite conference… the MAC! Last week’s conference call was certainly optimism filled and a nice change of pace for Coach Stan Parrish after victory #1. This week, back to the established routine of complimenting the opponent, chatting about BSU’s mistakes, and looking forward to tough upcoming games while trying [...]

Rich Brooks’ SEC Teleconference

Each Wednesday we bring you a recap of sorts of the SEC Teleconference, where the league’s coaches have a chance to touch base with the national media regarding a whole host of topics. Here’s Coach Brooks’ comments: CRB’s Opening Statement: “We came off a win last week that we got off to a good start [...]

Stan’s MACtastic Conference Call

We’re ridiculously behind schedule this morning, but it was sort of an adventure through uncharted waters and territory on the MAC Conference Call as Stan Parrish had the luxury of answering questions from the media after a game that didn’t get recorded as an “L”. Certainly a long time coming and something that most every [...]
